A pivoting handrail with a safety latch is provided. The device includes a handrail having a first end opposite a second end. The first end is pivotally affixed to an upper bracket and the second end is pivotally affixed to a lower bracket. An upper pin is affixed to the first end, the upper pin slidably disposed within a first channel within the upper bracket. A lower pin is affixed to the second end, the lower pin slidably disposed within a second channel within the lower bracket. The handrail is selectively movable between an in-use position and a stowed position upon elevation of the handrail. A safety latch is affixed to a deadbolt, wherein the safety latch selectively moves the deadbolt between an extended position and a retracted position. When in the extended position, the deadbolt extends into the second channel to displace the lower pin from the second channel.
